Top-scoring IB students from Hong Kong's ESF school group share success insights
Fifteen students from Hong Kong's largest international group, who achieved high scores in the International Baccalaureate (IB) programme, have shared their aspirations and preparation insights, with 11 planning to study medicine in the city.
Another five students from the German Swiss International School in The Peak achieved top marks in the IB programme, on par with Victoria Shanghai Academy, adding to the number of the city's top scorers to 37.
English Schools Foundation (ESF), the city's largest international group, on Monday revealed its students' IB results, with its Sha Tin College having the highest number of six top scorers among all schools offering the IB diploma programme in Hong Kong.
Out of 15 best performers, 10 students planned to study medicine programmes in Hong Kong, two would pursue computer science in the United States, and the rest were either aiming to study in the US or were undecided.
Most of the top students felt excited and relieved after learning about their grades.
'Getting 45 is a goal I've dedicated my past 17 years to reach. I just feel really honoured after reaching it,' Kristie Lo Ji-kiu, 18, one of the top scorers who wants to become a doctor, said.
